i'm using an optional argument to filter a projects list by taxonomy terms with panels 3.

as panel title i defined "%category:name Projects", this works fine when the category is given. if not, unfortunately it outputs the replacement string.
mysite/projects/arts ... title = "Arts Projects", fine
mysite/projects ... title = "%category:name Projects", wrong - should be "Projects"

did i miss some configuration option? i atached my panels export

thanks, josef

I have the same problem. Is there an easy solution for this?

If you have an optional parameter and if you are using substitution patterns, the pattern are not deleted if the argument is not present.

Example:

Panel Page URL:
infos/!tid

Title Pattern:
Infos %tid:name

If argument is present:
Infos MyCategoryname

If argument is missing:
Infos %tid:name

Better would be:
Infos or Infos All where "All" is the wildcardname of a view used on this panel page.

I tried with the wilcard "all" but this is not working too because "all" is not accepted as a valid context argument and therefore its not possible to pass the wildcard to a view.

I wrote a small patch for ctools to remove all patterns, that are not replaced if an optional argument is missing.
